India announced this morning it had successfully test launched its new
nuclear-capable missile which could hit Beijing and China - and beyond. The
country's government hopes the $500million Agni V missile, which was launched
at 8.07am Indian time, will turn the nation into Asia's main superpower. The
Agni V missile has a range of 5,000km (3,100 miles), and is seen as key to
helping India in its border disputes with China.
